C4Y cubes in DX

[FDK 1]

that cube isn't a knockoff, it has c4us logo imprinted on the center if you look through the pictures.

also,

EDIT: I wish DX also sells Eastsheen 2x2s.

I'm pretty sure they have ES 2x2x2s, but i can't confirm

http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.18286

Only 2x2x2 I could find on DX, but I've never owned a 2x2x2 so I don't know if it's an ES.

Also, http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.16334 and http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.18134 . Does anyone know how good these are?

i've heard that the pyraminxes are ok

That's not an ES 2x2, it's a useless piece of fragile plastic.
That's a PVC megaminx (I plan on purchasing one).
That's a cheap and crappy pyraminx. For a better one, see http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.13757

I must have missed that, Focalprice has a black "Chinese" Speedcubing Kit (old Type D with lube, a screwdriver, and a solution booklet) and a black Type F.

I have both of these: the megaminx is a fair PVC minx of good build quality and works well with a bit of lube, screw adjustment and sanding but some of the sticker colours are hard to distinguish. The pyraminx is pretty cheap and nasty (only one centre has a screw and the remainder are snap-on) but can be a very fast puzzle when broke in and lubed.

But, yes, the TwistyPuzzles list is probably the best summary of the puzzles at DX... as long as it is kept up to date of course! These things change over time and the appearance of seemingly genuine C4U DIY is quite a big change!

James Lee said that he didn't know where they got the C4Y-cubes.

Cube4you isn't a rip off. The shipping is high because it's coming from China. If James lowered the shipping, he'd be losing money, since he'd be paying for part of the shipping.

DX ships from Hong Kong, right? It's free.

i know right, those cubes are cheap for them to make them, he makes a lot already, he should lowered the shipping, anyway i really wish DX in stock some white or black ones, if that happen, i will never buy form c4y again, i takes a long time for dx to ship but it takes even longer for c4y cube to arrive

I've just ordered one of these, plus one of the type Cs, a new snake, a blindfold and some DS pens, all for less than £15 ! proper bargain.

 

[MichaelErskine]

My purple c4u DIY is apparently on its way from HK! Palms sweating already

 

[SlapShot]

Mine is on it's way also !!!! I dig Purple, and I wanted it the first time I saw it on C4Y, but lack of funds kept me from ordering. Now was my chance.

 

[EmersonHerrmann]

It has the Cube4you logo....WTF? Doesn't this violate some copyright/reselling law or something?

 

[MichaelErskine]

They're genuine according to owners of both the DX and cubes direct from C4U

 

[cookingfat]

Michael, what are the stickers like on the type C?
